    The US leaving the World Health Organization while having no universal healthcare is a fascinating commitment to consistency.

    Edit:
    Jokes aside, this is coming from a country where medical bills remain a leading cause of bankruptcy..

    This is like uninstalling antivirus software because you don’t like the pop-ups.

    What a surprise, a presidency that doesn’t even recognise scientific fact and appoints someone like Kennedy as Health Secretary ends up leaving the WHO.

    Is Trump planning an alternative kind of parallel Organisation Something like “Board of Health”.?

    Edit – New Suggestion ” Bored of Health “

  5. Honestly, it might just be easier if all organizations ask the US to reapply for membership again.

  6. USA became the laughing stock of the world. It’s like those people who clearly force themselves to look “alpha”, but are clearly NOT alpha material(more like sigma or whatever). And I actually have(had?) great respect towards the US and, as such, it’s one disappointment after another.

    This is not inspiring or a show of force, it’s simply embarrassing.

    They really hate any mention of ‘health’, ‘vaccine’, ‘welfare’, or ‘free school lunch’ in that country, eh?

    Stiffing on a big bill and making up some justification as to why its not owed is 100% on brand for trump

  9. I think is time for west coast states to create their own healthcare organization and split with the useless CDC. Would also be nice if we could split away from TACO America.

    I feel like the US is going to be leaving a ton of stuff like the UN, NATO, and a bunch of other agreements in the coming 3 years. Some will be voluntary and some will be the US being kicked out.

  11. Regardless of Trump, the U.S. government often criticizes international organizations and lectures other countries on economic or human rights issues. But it should first look at its own domestic problems: there is no universal healthcare system, it fails to provide affordable and safe food to its people, obesity rates are abnormally high, drugs are rampant, incarceration rates are extremely high with massive racial disparities, and gun violence is widespread.

    What Trump is doing is so excessive that it ironically only makes China look great on the world stage, and it is disastrous for both the United States and the world.

  12. as someone who lives in a country where healthcare is free…. all I can say is Goodluck Americans. You’re gonna need much more than that for the times ahead

  13. I just don’t get why their plan is to kill everyone. Or how they’ve brainwashed enough people to go along with it.

    In that case, quarantine all americans before entering a foreign country. You never know what theyre bringing in

  15. We should introduce mandatory quarantine for U.S. visitors. Who knows what infectious diseases will be allowed to proliferate under this regime. We already see measles, soon polio and TB will make a roaring comeback.

  16. Boy, can’t wait for our flu vaccines to suck now that we don’t have data from the WHO. Which will just fuel the anti-vax bullshit.

  17. If i were an American that had any sort of familial connection through a parent or grandparent to a different country I would be emigrating. Not a hope i would stay in that country.

  18. With

    – mass deportations
    – negative immigration
    – increased emmigration
    – increased deaths from lack of vaccinations
    – increased deaths from lack of Healthcare
    – increased heart disease from animal fats
    – increased deaths from world health crises
    – increased deaths from homelessness
    – plummeting birth rates from unaffordable living

    our population will be going down insanely fast.

  19. i would guess then WHO will reccomend short quarantine periods, swabs and temp scans on travelers from the US. Plus reccomended mandatory vaccines for travelling there.
    What a time to be alive.

  20. Leaving the WHO while having a complete fucking idiot running the health department in the US is totally fucking stupid. But it’s in line with this whole administration, so I’m not even surprised.
